For 12 months, panda fans around the world saw glimpses of panda cub Zhen Zhen on Panda Cam, but they were always eager for more. They got their wish in 2008, when PBS San Diego aired “Panda Tales,” a TV special produced by PBS that followed Zhen Zhen from day one to her antics on her first birthday. It was a fun account of a year in the life of a panda cub, watching her develop and grow up. Viewers were able to see the video clips of her early veterinary exams, hear her vocalize, see her early attempts to climb a tree, and watch her play. They found out more about Bai Yun and Gao Gao as well, and heard from veterinarian Dr. Meg Sutherland-Smith, the first to examine Zhen Zhen when the cub was two weeks old, and from researcher Dr. Ron Swaisgood, co-head of the San Diego Zoo’s Giant Panda Conservation Unit, as he discussed the Zoo’s work with pandas in San Diego and China.
